Hi, MarshalLaw

Mid October 1940
In Russia Operation Cloaked Eagle is activated and a massive overthrow of high ranking party members has resulted in a change of leadership. Starlin has been arrested by Zhukov who has been secretly working with the Germans and never forgave Starlin for his violent actions against the army and in one swift move shoots Starlin. By the end of the Month Germany controls western Russia this is only part of the Plan Hitler saw that Russia can raise a army of greater numbers and crush him one day so in secret talks with a selective number of Soviet Officers the plan is to incorporate Russia in to the Reich and form a super power and destroy communists once and for all the next step is to create the new Russo/Germanic Empire.

Eastern Russia
with the downfall of Starlin the army is happy and now feels it can drive the Japanese out and now with the full power of Germany. 1941 will be the year to drive the enemy out both country's unite increasing there war production.

November
Zhukov is named President of Russia and is awarded the Knights Cross for his actions. In Japan life becomes tough under the new rulers and in occupied country's mass killing has started against those who will not bow to the new leaders this has cause a back lash and this will only get worst. The new leaders restart the war in Burma the last third must fall in less than two weeks. In England the Prime Minister has withdrawn from the war and faces the fact the mistakes are his and steps down there are calls for Churchill to come back. In America the news of Starlin's downfall and the new Russo/Germanic Empire has got alarm bells ringing.

Hey Richard,

Oct. - Dec. 1940:

In Russia on the front in the north and south, lines are stable as both sides settle in for another winter. Meanwhile in Moscow Stalin learns too late of operation Cloaked Eagle as it is activated before Stalin was ready to act. He is arrested along with military and gov. leaders loyal to Stalin. Stalin is shot the next day by Gen. Zhukov, as a change of gov. is underway. By the first of Nov. Germany controls Russia west of the Ural mountains. In Nov. Zhukov is named president of Russia and is awarded the Knights cross by Hitler. Plans are in the works to create a Russo/Germanic empire and become the worlds super power.

In Japan To Jo hears of the fall of western Russia to the Germans, There is great concern that this new alliance is a great danger to Japan as the next step is to sweep the Japanese from Russia. Meanwhile in Japan the new gov. is imposing it's ruthless will on the Japanese people.

In Nov. Prime minister Attlee resigns as the war in the Pacific is going badly and the British have lost a 1/3 of their fleet to the Japanese. The British withdraw their fleet back to home waters. The British do not trust the Germans any longer and fear there could be a secret plan to over throw England as well. There are calls within the gov. for Churchill to take over as Prime Minister.

In America Roosevelt is concerned about the British withdraw of their fleet from the Pacific. Germany only has 14 ships in the region and no aircraft carriers. Japan will soon control the region and vital bases in Singapore and Hong Kong could soon be in Japanese hands.
Also alarming is the the new alliance with Russia and Germany, with the Germans controlling western Russia without hardly firing a shot. With Stalin out of the picture, Zhukov is only a puppet for Hitler. The real power of this alliance comes from Berlin regardless what Zhukov may think. In America 95% of the Japanese extremist problem is under control as several cells are arrested in a massive sweep across the nation. In Dec. Roosevelt chooses a new Vice president Harry Truman. In a bold move by Roosevelt, he convinces the Congress to switch American industry to war production as he fears that America will soon be fighting Japan and perhaps Germany/Russia as well.

Hi, MarshalLaw

November 1940
In Germany Hitler declares a national one day holiday on December 2nd of the swift take over of western Russia. Meanwhile both country's together have outstripped the Japanese war production by the 112% and on course for 150% by the end of the year. Latter in the month Hitler decides to remain neutral with England for now and to remain on good terms.

America
Churchill has not made any decision to return home to take over the position of Prime Minister with this result all political party's unite to form a stable cross party Government and hold elections the following year. The American president dose not want to drag his country in to all out war but there over seas territory will have increased numbers of armed forces in a public broadcast he states don't worry about the Japanese they are far to busy in Russia and they have mounting problems the new leaders have set course for self destruction. In Private there is a level of concern over the Russo/Germanic empire "we must keep an eye on this over the coming years."

Japan
The general population are now suffering as they are forced to work around the clock producing war material. And in the occupied territory things are worst and civil unrest is on the increase.

East Russia
minor engagements as both sides prepare on the German/Soviet side all goes well with the build up and training the Russian soldiers. On the other side a slow build up and a lot of fear the only good news is Japan controls the sea lanes with out a major threat now England has pulled out but more U-Boats are on the way with there supple ships.

1941 opens with a stalemate on both sides but all is about to change there is more unrest in Japan and plans are being made to topple the new leaders and this is planned when the war in Russia starts up again.

Hey Richard,

Jan. - March 1941:

The Eastern Russian front lines in the north and south are stable throughout the winter months as both sides pour men and material into the region, and wait for spring, and the start of another offensive.. Re-con aircraft on both sides monitor the buildup on both sides. Field commanders adjust their planning on both sides throughout the winter months.

In the pacific, German Naval forces withdraw from Singapore and head for Hong Kong. In late Jan. Burma is under Japanese control along with Singapore. In mid Feb. a 8 carrier Japanese strike force attack the German fleet at Hong Kong. The Germans lose 5 ships and 7 IX u-boats. The Sub pens are damaged and out of action for 3 months also the Air field is damaged and out of action for the next 30 days. Hitler is informed and orders Reader to withdraw German forces back to Germany. All German forces withdraw from the region by early March. By the end of March Japanese forces seize Hong Kong and control the region. This boost moral through out Japan, and her territories, giving hope to everyone that the hard work is paying off with victory. While is Hong Kong a IX u-boat is discovered intact. The sub is studied and things learned are utilized in the Japanese "I" series boats that will jump start the Japanese sub fleet.

In America the war machine is in high gear as ships , planes, and other material are manufactured. The British gov. has requested assistance so the U.S. sends 4 convoys of war material to England by March. Hitler is informed and is not pleased.
The Japanese extremist problem is 100% solved as the last members are captured in the Rockies near Denver. In early March Roosevelt meets with Churchill to convince him to head back to England and become Prime Minister. But before the meeting Churchill had already decided to go back , so the meeting was more of a future planning session than a arm twisting affair Roosevelt had planned for.

In England news of Churchill's return is met with open arms. Churchill is installed as Prime Minister on March 28th. He sets to work preparing his nation for a future attack he knows will come from Hitler. Roosevelt has pledged war material from America to jump start the British defense.

Meanwhile in Berlin, Hitler and his generals ponder their next move. So far everything has gone their way. But the recent naval defeat in the Pacific, and England arming under Churchill has the German leader concerned. It is decided that the invasion of Norway is back on and planned for May. Also a Major push in Russia is planned for late April.

Hey Richard,

Oct. - Dec. 1941:

Early October in Japan To Jo receives word that defeat in Russia could come by spring if not sooner. However To Jo has one final card left to play. Since 1937 Japan has experimented with chemical weapons, not just mustard gas but biologicals as well. Testing has been completed for sometime and a large stockpile of bombs and artillery shells are in place. They include mustard gas , chlorine, plague, and smallpox. To Jo orders the bombing and shelling of the front lines with the chemical weapons ASAP. Within 2 weeks front line forces are ready and the attack begins with round the clock shelling and bombing along the whole front line. At first German and Russians forces think that the Japanese are throwing up smoke screens until the first troops start to get exposed and get sick. Within 3 days the front lines begin to crumble as troops are too sick or dieing to fight. All panzer and air units grind to a halt. By Nov. 15th it is all over as over 1.5 million German and Russian troops are dead. Countless tanks and aircraft fall into Japanese hands, 75% of land lost during the summer is regained in just a few weeks. The Japanese lose 22,000 to exposure as well due to faulty equipment or carelessness by troops.

The world is stunned at the death toll, but the Japanese have turned the tide and snatched victory away from the Germans and Russians. The playing field is level once again as advanced weapons fall into Japanese hands. By Dec. another 500,000 troops are dead. German/Russian forces have suffered over 90% casualties. The attacked also destroyed command structure as well. As countless generals, field commanders and support staff are killed or too sick to command.

With winter in full swing lines are stable once again as both sides await spring. Through out the winter Japanese forces pound rear area position with aircraft strikes as weather permits.

In America and Britain the push is on to jump start their own chemical programs, and to arm their troops with chemical protection.

In Germany and Moscow, a mad rush is on to jump start their own programs but realize they will not be ready by spring. The best they can do is to manufacture chemical protection for their remaining troops and hope for the best. During the winter a slow advance of reinforcements start to head for the front. Both Germany and Russia have exhausted their troop reserves Only 800,000 are able to make the trip to the front lines.

Hi, MarshalLaw

October 1941 - March 1942
In Germany just before the Japanese attack Hitler is killed in a freak accident and is soon over shadowed by the events in Eastern Russia. Goring comes to office and takes over and swiftly tells the army to fall back days after the outrage and with Goring now in charge talks now open up with England and America and with surprise all goes well both the American president and the British Prime Minister are totally disgusted by Japans actions.

This was an action nothing more than a barbaric act breaking all the regulations set down by the league of nations. Churchill remarks Hitler was a war monger but he waged a convectional war and did not stoop to this kind of a barbaric act. Goring has promised to withdraw from France and concentrate on the Japanese and end the war this has bought around a result and all three countries are united in bringing about the end of Japan.

In Eastern Russia the German army was able to fall back faster than the Soviets and took less casualties in the death toll. Japanese forces were to suffer the most as they advanced the first outbreaks of cholera and typhoid and in weeks a epidemic breaks out and brings the Japanese army to a full stop and with winter coming on the death rate rockets over million are killed before spring the army is in very bad shape.

And withdraw a death march all water and food contaminated as they fall back to there start lines 86% of the army has been lost and in the spring will not be able to hold there ground. Fortunately as the epidemic moves west wards the Russians incinerated the dead and carried out a scorched earth burning everything.

In China the Japanese strangle hold gets worst in the attempt to stamp out the civil unrest death squads are set up and thousands of Chinese are killed. This has sparked off civil war crops are destroyed factories are Burt to the ground as the Chinese see they have nothing more to loose and fight back.

In Burma the Japanese army has been forced to fall back and replays there losses in Eastern Russia.

In Japan civil unrest has been crushed with no regard thousands are in prisoned hundreds are executed. In December a oil plant blows up the fire is out of control and rages for over two weeks the leaders see they are losing and are determine to kill as many of the enemy as possible.

Australia declares war on Japan and joins the new united alliance and the first 30 U.S Subs arrive at there new bases in Australia and start operations the following month.

In America the President wishes the two naval task-forces luck as they set sail the mission destroy the Japanese Navy.

Off the shore of Japan Naval shells fall on Japan for one hour the Graff Speer is now operating on hit and run missions.


Breaking News......
Late March Japanese Navy suffer a defeat four light cruisers and nine Destroyers are attacked and all are destroyed. Germany has unleashed Bismark and Turpit's they also have intercepted two convoys and destroy them. They swiftly withdraw to safer waters and wait for another opportunity.

In April Goring meets Churchill all goes very well Goring has promised once Japan has been defeated democracy will return to Germany. The news is passed on to the American President who is also pleased.

The land war in Eastern Russia has stalled for both sides due to a number of factors for most of the year.

Hey Richard,

April 1942:

In Japan the Japanese people have had enough of To Jo and his ruthless ways. Most officers in the army, navy, and air force are disgusted with the use of chemical weapons. Most regard it as a cowards play and not part of the Bushido code of honor. In mid April a military coup under the leadership of Admiral Yamamoto overthrows To Jo and his followers. In a 5 day period, bitter fighting rages against the 2 sides . But in the end Yamamotos forces defeat Tojo's forces and most are put to death. To Jo commits suicide as he realize the end is near for him. By April 20th Yamamoto is in charge of Japan and her forces. He contacts world leaders by radio and informs them of what has happened in Japan and that he is now in control. Further he apologizes for Japans role in the use of chemical weapons, and that Japanese forces will withdraw all her forces back to Japan ASAP. He calls on all world leaders at war with japan to come to the peace table to bring a end to the conflict in the region. Japan will cooperate fully and stand down from fighting.

In America naval leaders welcome the news. Most know Yamamoto personally and know that he will stand by his word. Within days America, Australia, and Britain agree to Japan's proposal. Germany is still considering the offer. As for Russia their gov. is in shambles and have agreed to follow Germany's lead. By May 1st the world waits to see if world leaders will broker a peace of not. A world wide cease fire goes into effect on May 2nd. As world leaders make final decisions on what to do.

Hi, MarshalLaw

May 1942 - September 1942
Japans navy sets sail for home waters and the remains of there army in Russia start to withdraw a number of the fanatic Generals have committed suicide than face prosecution. By late June early July Eastern Russia is now free from the Japanese and the cease fire holds even no talks have taken place yet.

In mid July talks start up and Japans new leaders know they will be punished for what they did and it will take many years to repair the damage. In September the formal end of hostile actions stops out right peace talks continual for many years in settling matters.

In Germany Goring has stabilized the country and with calls all naval ships home in June by July a million troops come home and talks go well with Russia and a new alliance comes into force all plans of an empire are scrapped in favor of new cooperation between the two nations.

In America the President now safe with the knowledge that Japan is now under control recalls the two task forces home in early September. In England Churchill stills keeps his eye on Goring but there are no threats from Germany and things start to return to normal.
